Avoiding this is like avoiding a plagueWe can't understand the advances we madeWe've tried to resist but it's so hard to say noWe're pretending to see what the future will holdWe appear to be in control of our fateJust like soldiers believe they're in control of a warBut it's moving so fast we cannot see what we've doneWe're losing our eyes just to say that we've won

My mind's made up, my heart is brokeMy fortune's is made me and I feel so chokedI can't understand how we could ever believeThe things we asked for but never received

We never understood the times we askedThe way we wasted all that passedThis neglect is final it's a stage we mustEndure to ever hope to see the firstMy mind's made up about the things we didWe never saw we believed we couldn't say what we missed

My mind's made up, my heart is brokeMy fortune's is made me and I feel so chokedI can't understand how we could ever believeThe things we asked for but never received

By making noises which we cannot controlThe things we hoped that we'd never forgoWe appear to be in control of our fateJust like soldiers believe they're in control of a warBut it's moving so fast we cannot see what we've doneWe're losing our eyes just to say that we've won

My mind's made up, my heart is brokeMy fortune's is made me and I feel so chokedI can't understand how we could ever believeThe things we asked for but never received
